Summer is well and truly here (phew!!!) and it looks set to stay in the ‘heatwave zone’ for a while. Scorching sun all day can be hard work, especially when you’re on the move at festivals, camping and on your hols. I have some tried and tested favourites that keep me naturally cool (ish), protected, and un-melting in the summer heat! I hope you will come and see me speaking alongside some awesome greats at the debut GO Organic festival at Battersea Park on September 8th where we will also be announcing the winners of the Janey Loves Platinum Awards
Tickets are now available on the festival website; www.goorganicfestival.co.uk.
I look forward to seeing you there!
